Title: GHOST STORIES Post by: Chechem on October 29, 2022, 06:54:36 AM Last night I heard an interesting ghost story.
As many of you know, Ole Miss was used as a Civil War hospital following the Battle of Shiloh. Lots of stories resulted, many involving ghosts. Last night we heard a story from a woman recently retired from Ole Miss. She was in Ole Miss administration for the past 30 years, working in the Lyceum (oldest building on campus - dating to 1848). She said she regularly worked past midnight over the years until she had an encounter with a ghost. She said she didn't share this story before retirement, because she feared being ridiculed. She was upstairs in an office suite about 20 years ago when a door opened. It was 2am. She hadn't heard anyone else in the building since before midnight. She said she called out, expecting a custodian. No answer. She stood, and an apparition walked in. "He looked like a soldier; wearing a sack jacket; couldn't tell if he was Union or Confederate." The soldier walked past her and into the adjoining room. Yikes. She left for the night, and never worked after midnight there again. :tinfoil: Title: Re: GHOST STORIES Post by: 2Stater on October 29, 2022, 08:16:30 AM Last night I heard an interesting ghost story.

We lived there for 7 years and had 3 encounters. 1. About 3:00 AM, I heard a noise in the den, then dishes rattling in the kitchen. I woke my parents up and we investigated. My dad had a baseball bat in his hands. There was a footprint in the chair by the den window. The window was closed and locked. 2 dishes were on the kitchen table. The house was totally locked. 2. I was asleep and I heard my door opening. I watched it as it slowly opened all the way and no one was there. Then it slowly closed all the way. Rinse and repeat; Dad with the baseball bat in his hand. 3. Footsteps in the attic. Yep, Dad with the baseball bat. My oldest brother lived in Slapout, Al once upon a time. His house was totally haunted. Female voice at 3:00 AM every single night. The chandelier in the living room would tinkle often and that house was air tight. My brother was tending to the firepacle and a bust he had on the mantle flew off and just missed his head. It happened right in front of me. Oh yes, I'm a believer. :unsure: Title: Re: GHOST STORIES Post by: ricky023 on October 29, 2022, 10:13:54 AM I hope we don't have a ghost defense anymore on our team. RTR!
